☆ Moroccans in Earthquake-Hit Tourist Area Grieve Losses, Fret About Future
  + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
"The earthquake killed people and destroyed villages on which our tourism activity depends," said Abderrahim Bouchbouk, owner of the nine-room guesthouse that was once run by his grandfather. Tourism offered vital extra earnings for many, with few other work opportunities outside tilling the land on smallholdings. "That was a way for many local farmers to make additional revenue," said Bouchbouk, whose Kasbah La Dame guesthouse employs 14 people. Ahmed Bassim, a tourist guide in the Ouirgane area who has been forced to live in a tent for shelter since the earthquake, said the region was in desperate need of reconstruction. The region, one of Morocco's poorest, lies close to Marrakech, a popular tourist destination with luxurious hotels, fancy shopping centres and a historic souk.

Lahcen Zelmat, head of the Morocco's tourism industry federation, said the long-planned event "would be a chance for Morocco to promote Marrakech destination again after the earthquake."
